Ten minutes ago I met you / and we murmured our how do you dos (louie x webby)

The marina was deserted nowadays, which made it perfect for anyone who wanted to be alone - which was Louie's objective. Not that he didn't love his family - of course he did - but sometimes he just needed a break. Naturally he had no idea that the last couple of times he was alone... he wasn't. Not really.

After all, the one watching him had made sure to stay hidden. She wasn't supposed to go near his kind, but the forbidden fruit is always the most tempting. She had a million and one questions for him, but each time she thought of approaching him, she lost the nerve. Today would be different, so she hoped.

Right on time, she spotted him walking along the water, and dove into her hiding spot behind the large rocks - but her timing was off. Instead of a quiet slip, it'd accidentally become a loud splash...

"I have no idea what jobs are." Nor what a company was. More importantly -

"So you DO go on adventures! I guess it!" She squealed a bit, splashing the water in her excitement. "Do you go all over the world, and meet all sorts of people, and do all sorts of things?"

Woah, okay, that took Louie aback a bit. This was one excited mermaid.

"Yeah, and yeah, and mostly we look for treasure? But we do... A lot of weird things when we're looking for it, so yeah, that too."

He didn't seem nearly half as enthusiastic about it as she did.

"What kinds of treasure?" She latched onto that word, trying to sit up in the water.

"I've always wanted to know what land-walker treasure was like! Can I see it, please, please, pleeeaaase? I'll do anything if you let me see it!"
